I've lied / to you
The same way that I always do
This is / the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
[Everything falls apart / even the people who never frown / eventually break down]
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
[Everything has to end / you'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind]
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried / like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is / the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

Something reminded me of the Chinese passage I read during my Chinese tuition last Saturday. It was about using friends for one's benefits, or more like, making "friends" to be used. That passage made me kinda disgusted then. My tuition teacher also asked me a question: "Which would you befriend; a hardworking student or a drug addict?", and looked at me with that "obviously-the-hardworking-student-right" expression. I told him that it depends; the drug addict may actually be a nice person but the hardworking student may not be a good person either. Which made him kinda speechless.
I believe that I'm neither naive nor dumb; I know that in real life, more often than not, one's best friend has to be oneself and the word "friendship" is just a mask to conceal one's selfishness. But I want to believe that true friends do exist. I want to. But it's getting harder to deceive myself, not that it was ever easy to start with.

DAUGHTRY - What About Now
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

The 5th single off the album, and my Daughtry song of the month! It's nice and I love the acoustic version of the song (first heard it on Idol Gives Back). His LIVE performances are great too! (1 2) The thing about Chris is that he changes a lot of parts of the songs, but the changed version sounds just right. And GOSH I LOVE HIS VOICE.
Apparently Feels Like Tonight was the the 4th single (MV). It is a very difficult song to sing; the screaming notes are high so he can't really sing this perfectly LIVE.
The band is actually touring now and they are starting to perform new songs. I demand a new album! It's been more than 1 year already.. D: And come to Singapore again please! But hold the concert in the Indoor Stadium, not in a club. ><
